ABAB is the form of the ABA design that provides an experimentally sound and ethical means of evaluating a clinical procedure. In this design, the intervention is withdrawn (returning to baseline) after a period of treatment, and then reintroduced to determine whether the effects of the treatment are reproducible. This design allows for the evaluation of treatment effects while minimizing potential harm to the individual receiving the treatment. The AB design lacks the ability to determine whether changes in behavior are due to the intervention or extraneous variables, while the ABA and ABABA designs can be unethical if the intervention being studied is potentially harmful.
